You may want to hide this until your next post, (or work it into your post) but the official trail map is always up-to-date at http://www.sutrostewards.org. My own version, which shows a little further in all directions, is posted at http://www.peasepress.com/sutromap.pdf.

Mon, 01 Aug 2011 05:48:59 +0000http://carlandcole.wordpress.com/?p=325#comment-42Hi, someone emailed me saying she had problems registering for the new Message Boards, saying the cursor on her page did not activate the field to create a username and password. Has anyone else had this problem? Please reply and let me know. It’s possible it could be related to the current arch-nemesis of websites: BROWSERS that are incompatible with certain sites! (Funny, this got solved around the year 2000 during Dotcom 1.0 — and now here we go again with a new round of websites that work on some browsers but not others. Not a good thing!)

I will provide screenshots, or even a video of how to fill out the registration form for those who might find this helpful.

Sun, 31 Jul 2011 17:06:25 +0000http://carlandcole.wordpress.com/?page_id=95#comment-39Hi Genevieve. ABSOLUTELY YES! I … Truth is, I have wanted to do this for 5 years, but “work” always got in the way… But the recent circumstances PUSHED me to get a simplified version of CarlandCole.com up and running overnight. And I did. But there has always been a much larger and full community site planned, with events calendar, ROOMMATE FINDER, APARTMENT FINDER, BABYSITTER FINDER, DOG WALKING SERVICES, pages for every store and shop in the entire area, including UCSF…. There will be N-JUDAH and BUS INFO, via NextBus.com but formatted for web and MOBILE PHONES, and tied to LOCATIONS on Google Maps.

There will be PROBLEM-RESOLUTION boards re sound & noise problems, issues related to the over-solicitation of funds on our sidewalks on Cole street which many have found out of control and completely interruptive of our enjoyment of our streets.

There will be MUSIC & EVENTS LISTINGS — which would have helped, maybe, save the RED VIC MOVIE THEATRE, but probably not… But still, it can help promote musicians and artists in our neighborhood.

PHOTOS AND VIDEOS from events can be shared here.

MOUNT SUTRO FOREST walking trail PHOTOS will be posted in a few days. So few people even know of the immense beauty just blocks away and easily accessible.

There will be SCHOOL EVENT information… SCHOOL TUTORING services for parents, (i.e., online bulletin boards for people offering these services).

Many people don’t even know there is an APPLE MAC STORE RIGHT INSIDE UCSF’S BOOKSTORE at the top of Parnassus Avenue! You can get a new power supply for your MacBook Pro, all sorts of accessories etc.

There will be TECH STARTUP/ ENTREPRENEUR INTRODUCTIONS & ROUNDTABLES both online and periodic “meetups” at Reverie Cafe.. where people can actually meet their neighbors they pass on the streets no one ever knowing the other exists.

RECYCLING RESOURCES. Carpooling and other planning capabilities that never were very well able to be organized optimally without an online resource.

And many more things. Including what cannot and WILL NOT be forgotten: A FULL RESOURCE PAGE with comprehensive listings on SUICIDE PREVENTION and INTERVENTION PHONE NUMBERS as well as ONLINE INFORMATION LINKS to nationally recognized experts such as Mayo Clinic and others, regarding symptoms and what to do. This will include for all kinds of target groups, including TEENAGERS… as well as TRANSGENDER individuals, where — my research these past 2 weeks showed me that — suicides amongst that group of people is an extraordinarily high 32-50% rate. Sadly, it turns out the signs were all there on pages easily accessible on the web.

============ SO, Genevieve, Yes, definitely! And I am really glad you mentioned it on your own. I have had no idea who is even looking at this site. It is SO BIZARRE to me to have to even promote its existence by using PAPER posted onto a window — here in one of the most tech-savvy & entrepreneurial neighborhoods in the entire city! ha hah! ========

Hi- I just saw the posting for this site in coffee shops. Are you going to use this blog as a community message board in any way? I’m house-sitting for a friend in the neighborhood, but am looking for a place here in Cole Valley as well. Please let me know- I’m trying to put the message out to the universe! Thanks~

]]>Comment on Dedicated to Mattie Posth … aka Maggie by Aileen Longhttps://carlandcole.wordpress.com/2011/07/09/post-your-thoughts-or-memories-of-maggie-no-registration-required/#comment-36
Sat, 30 Jul 2011 01:06:02 +0000http://carlandcole.wordpress.com/?p=29#comment-36I was walking to Booksmith when I saw the pictures in Say Cheese & Reverie, so I stopped. I checked out the video & pictures on the Internet. I made copies of some of the pictures & watched the video several times- it was a touching memorial- I also liked the song in the background, Shawn Colvin’s cover of “Shine On You Crazy Diamond,”arranged by Viktor Krauss. It matched everything.

I met Mattie near my apartment on Carl Street. There’s a lady who lives a few doors down the block who has 2 cats and a dog. The dog stayed inside but Mattie used to pet the cats out front. One of the cats got sick & Mattie helped the lady take care of her sad cat. Mattie told me these stories while we waited for the N-Judah @ Carl & Cole. We met there & @ Safeway @ Church & DuBoce often. She always had a big smile on her face when she used to wave to me from Reverie.

I talked to her about music- she told me she liked the Beatles. In 2004 I told her I was going to see Paul McCartney. She told me she saw Paul McCartney in 1976 @ the Cow Palace. He was with Wings then & Linda was part of the group. Unfortunately, Linda was already dead when I saw Wings in 2004. My foster sister was at the ’76 concert & I’ve always wished I could have gone. I had a chance to go, but I didn’t . . . 7 years ago, I was standing in line with Mattie @ Amoeba, waiting to pay for my purchases. I asked what CD she was buying & she said “Joshua Tree,” by U2. She told me she had a favorite on that album, “Where the Streets Have No Name.”

Last year she told me her brother had a swimming pool here in Cole Valley. I told her I saw that pool once years before- the gate happened to be open- a rare backyard in Cole Valley. Last year she told me she had lived in her apartment for 16 years & that her apartment was very depressing. I said ‘Well, at least you live in a nice neighborhood.’ She didn’t comment, she just smiled at me.

I’m sorry I didn’t go to her memorial on July 2. I didn’t find out about it until I read the announcements on Friday @ Say Cheese & Reverie. I was quite surprised, since I never expected such a tragedy from her. I am going to miss her a lot. She had a beautiful smile & was always joyful to talk to. Thanks for the bright photos & written memories. I’m going to make copies of all of them & I will never forget her.
